2011’s “Footloose” was a remake of the 1984 original, starring Kevin Bacon. In the new version, Kenny Wormald plays Ren, a Boston teen who moves to a small town in the South where dancing is banned.

In addition to Mr. T, the original “A-Team” featured Dirk Benedict as Templeton “Faceman” Peck, George Peppard as John “Hannibal” Smith and Dwight Schultz as “Howling Mad” Murdock.

Tony Scott’s “re-imagining” of “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” starring Denzel Washington as a dispatcher negotiating with subway hijacker John Travolta, wisely goes out of its way to avoid comparison with Joseph Sargent’s original 1974 movie — “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. The new “Pelham,” if no classic, is a lot of fun if you’re in the right mood.

“Ocean’s Eleven” (2001) starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon is a remake of the original heist film (1861) starring all five members of the Rat Pack.

Al Pacino put on his “Scarface” to play Tony Montana in the 1983 remake of the 1932 film based on the life of Al Capone.
